We’ve already deployed Voltaire’s 40 Gb/s InfiniBand edge switch and are experiencing improved application performance for our Applications Research and Development cluster, which translates into solving more complex problems in less time. A high-port count switch leveraging 40 Gb/s InfiniBand such as the Grid Director 4700 will give us increased bandwidth and throughput to capitalize on the processing power of multi-core servers and scale up to thousands of nodes.

The integration of Voltaire's Unified Fabric Manager software with Cluster Resources' Moab intelligent workload scheduler and orchestrator allows Moab to adapt the network in conjunction with compute resources to deliver on SLA guarantees, prioritization, and other organizational objectives. Unified Fabric Manager monitors, analyzes, and optimizes the fabric so that Moab can focus on determining what resources are needed to support the application and when to allocate them.

As we look towards designing supercomputers exceeding 10K servers, large port count high bandwidth and low latency scalable switches, all with extremely low BERs, are a key to our future success. Voltaire’s 36 port QDR edge switch offering has shown promising results and has boosted our confidence in designing our next-generation system around the Grid Director 4700.

Large fabrics bring a tremendous amount of complexity. Management software that automatically discovers, virtualizes, monitors and optimizes the fabric infrastructure as well as accelerates active applications is a valuable asset to our clusters that scale into the hundreds of nodes. Having a centralized view across all of the infrastructure gives us more control over our large-scale environments.

The integration of Platform LSF with Voltaire's Unified Fabric Manager software will extend the reach of Platform LSF’s intelligent scheduling and resource allocation capabilities to the network fabric layer. This will provide customers increased control, visibility and performance to better align their IT resources to meet their business needs from the application layer right down to the network fabric.

Improved performance and scalability are important to customers that depend on high performance applications to drive their mission-critical business operations. Combining Voltaire’s 40 Gb/s InfiniBand with Silicon Graphics servers will enable customers to extract the best performance from their systems with an efficient, cost-effective solution that also addresses the management pain points that arise as systems scale-out and incorporate shared-memory servers, compute clusters and storage.
